“Why do I always buy high and sell low? Where did I go wrong?”
Later I understood:
It's not that I'm not trying hard, but I haven't built a good foundation.

✅ Why can't I make money? The problem may lie in your “skipping the spot trading phase.”
1. No trading logic established, relying only on feelings.
Many beginners place orders based on “everyone says it will rise” or “the K-line just broke through,” but this is not a complete judgment.
2. Contract amplifies mistakes, leading to faster losses.
In spot trading, a 10% loss allows you to adjust your thinking;
With a 10x leverage contract, a 10% retracement can liquidate you, leaving no chance to even react.
📌 Others earn money from contracts only after they can control risk, not by acting impulsively.
⸻
🔍 Therefore, what beginners should focus on is learning these three things:
🧱 1. Understand the rhythm of the market.
Not every market trend is suitable for your participation.
Through spot trading, you can intuitively feel the changes in trends, trading rhythm, and position advantages/disadvantages.
✍️ 2. Establish your own trading process.
When to observe? When to place orders? How to set stop-loss and take-profit?
These need to be practiced gradually through spot trading.
📉 3. Accept the truth that 'slow is fast.'
Spot trading rises slowly but teaches you to remain calm.
You are not not smart; you just need a more controllable environment to grow.

🪜 Suggestions for newcomers to enter the circle at the right pace (recommended to bookmark).
📌 Phase 1: Spot Trading Foundation Training (1-3 months)
• Learn to use mainstream exchanges like Binance/OKX.
• Familiarize yourself with mainstream coins: BTC, ETH, SOL, LINK, etc.
• Understand basic indicators: market cap, circulation, trading volume.
• Conduct 10 small actual trades, observing the performance of buy/sell points.
• Learn to set stop-loss and take-profit, practice trading discipline.
• Transfer coins to a wallet, learn the basics of on-chain transfers.
Goal: Build your own trading language, no longer just “following the crowd.”
⸻
📌 Phase 2: Contract Experimentation (at least 3-6 months later)
Only after you can profit from spot trading or execute strategies steadily should you consider trying contracts with small positions:
✅ Practice with a demo account, familiarize yourself with the liquidation mechanism and funding rates.
✅ Use a leverage of no more than 5x, with a single loss not exceeding 2% of your principal.
✅ Each trade should have accompanying reasons, target levels, and stop-loss points.
✅ Conduct reviews, do not chase trades or hold positions.

💬 Common misconceptions for beginners.
• Contracts are not shortcuts, they are amplifiers. Without direction, they will only cause you to lose faster.
• Spot trading is not slow, it's steady. Making money relies not on 'quick entries,' but on a system + rhythm.
• True growth starts from the first small spot trade.
⸻
📥 In conclusion.
Now, whenever someone asks me, “how should I learn trading,” I always recommend: spend the first 3 months understanding spot trading.
